“I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises.” –Elizabeth Gilbert

The Closet Overhaul is fundamentally important because it makes space for everything to start happening. Yes, you may have tried this before and sure, maybe you threw in the towel at that point, but that’s because your closet overhaul was a chore. I make it into a party. You can turn almost anything into a celebration.

Trust me, once week 1 is finished, you will be more ready than ever to keep the transformation going. You’ll get a taste of what’s possibly and that will take you into week 2 on a high.

TO KEEP IN MIND AT ALL TIMES

Nature fills all vacuums and voids. When you start letting go, it’s VERY common to have a mini-freak out moment (or not-so-mini).

I have set you up with everything you need to a. make the decision to let it go and b., to get over the fence so you’re focusing on what you’re gaining, not what you’re losing (which, at the end of the day, was clothing that you hardly ever wore).

Your mantra for the week is:

“I’m creating space for amazing things to come in.”

That’s it. No, “OM to the G, what have I done? I have nothing left! Brittany has led me down a path to an empty closet! I can’t do this! [insert your favorite inner-downward-spiral-dialogue here]…”

STOP.

Pause. Rewind. Say it with me:

“I’m creating space for amazing things to come in.”

Aaaaaand breathe.

It is just ‘stuff.’ There are stories behind this ‘stuff,’ I get that, but some of those stories are best left untold (eh ‘hem, we’ve all got ‘em) and some of those stories will stay forever in your memory. Sure, you can keep the wedding dress, college sweatshirts, heirloom jewelry, a few special things (I do have a heart), but the keyword here is ‘few.’
